Politician Says to ‘Spay’ Moms of Criminal Kids
From Times Wire Reports
A Charleston City Council member, reacting to a video store holdup believed to have been carried out by children, said parents who couldn’t properly care for their kids should be sterilized.
“We pick up stray animals and spay them,” Larry Shirley said in a story in the Post and Courier newspaper. “These mothers need to be spayed if they can’t take care of theirs.”
Shirley’s comments come after police said a video store was held up by a group of children.
